Abstract: One approach is directed to a robotic package handling system, comprising a robotic arm comprising a distal portion and a proximal base portion; an end effector coupled to the distal portion of the robotic arm; a place structure in geometric proximity to the distal portion of the robotic arm; a pick structure transiently coupled to one or more packages and positioned in geometric proximity to the distal portion of the robotic arm; a first imaging device positioned and oriented to capture image information pertaining to the pick structure and one or more packages; and a first computing system operatively coupled to the robotic arm and the first imaging device, and configured to receive the image information from the first imaging device and command movements of the robotic arm based at least in part upon the image information.
